Q: My lips feel really dry and are starting to crack. How can I make them soft again?

A: You can kiss dry lips goodbye with some lip TLC. First, you'll need to gently exfoliate the dry skin off your lips, and the best and easiest way to do it is with your toothbrush (who knew!). Apply a rich, moisturizing cream to your lips like Curel Ultra-Healing Moisturizing Lotion. Use enough to fully coat your lips and the skin around them. Soak your toothbrush in warm water, then softly brush your moisturized lips with it. Rinse them off with a warm washcloth and apply a soothing and healing lip treatment such as Blistex Medicated Lip Conditioner or ChapStick Medicated Lip Balm. Apply the treatment every morning and at night before bed to help them heal faster. The key to soft lips is keeping them moisturized and nourished. Keep a cute lip balm with you to apply throughout the day, like BurtsBees Beeswax Lip Balm. Although the flavored balms are yummy, try to stay away from them until your lips are healed because you'll be tempted to lick them, which will only make matters worse. Your lips will be super soft and beautifully smooth in no time!
